A terrible second attempt at boss music for Lux³. Kinda lost after the devastating feedback for the first attempt (see ChipBoss for that one) and tired after a sleepless night I ended up making this weird thing - which rather captured my tiredness than anything about the game.

"Boss music? Were you out of your mind?!" Yes, I was. I kinda tried to go for the exact opposite than my first attempt and being tired after working like 20 hours straight I ended up making this thing which sounds like it was made for a boring puzzle game from the MIDI music era or something. But don't get me wrong, the "boss battle" was still a simple maze challenge, not like two badass characters engaging in epic battle. I replaced it with another piece soon and supposedly finally nailed it with that one.

Now, seriously, this is a nasty piece and I think what gave me the idea was actually music from a certain awful and forgotten action game from the 90's. I still wanted it to have a certain retro vibe to it and sadly in my world retro includes zillions of generic shareware games of the DOS and early Windows 95 era - I think at least I captured the genericness of those games. :P
